This battery does not live up to the description of "Fully sealed, factory charged and ready to install - no down time to fill or charge your battery". I received this piece of junk with only 11 Volts. Not even enough to purge the fuel pump. Chaparral's genius call center told me to "Just put it on a trickle charger." I didn't pay for a dead battery... I paid for a battery that had a charge. Regardless, and just to spite them, I put it on the charger for about a day. It read 12.6 Volts, but in the time it took to install the battery in my bike, the charge quickly decayed to less than 12 Volts. Luckily, the return process wasn't as God awful as this battery was!
